In the answer here, I saw 2 and 91 as the prime factors of 182. Actually, 91 = 13 x 7 is not prime.?

This is true. 91 is not a prime number. Good Eye.

Now knowing this, your prime factors will clearly be 2, 7, and 13.

Good thinking. I don't know who told you it was, but 91 is not a prime number. The closest primes to it are 89 and 97, insofar as they occur to me.
